    Red bell peppers
    Zucchini
    Jalapenos
    Sweet chilis
    Basil
    Oregano
    Cilantro
    Sage

    Just started my garden a couple of weeks ago. I'm in Miami, FL. So far I'm growing (or trying to grow, we'll see how it goes)
    Tomatoes
    Habaneros
    Jalapenos
    Green bell peppers
    Banana peppers
    Zuccini
    Yellow squash
    Some kind of green beans (I can't remember exactly)
    Rosemary
    Cilantro
    Basil
    Oregano
    I also have fruit trees: Guavas, Avocados, Coconuts, and Mangoes; but those aren't new.

    I think that's it. I've already been using the herbs; can't wait 'till the rest of it is ready to eat!

    Mint. For mojitos!!! :drinker:

    I do well with flowers, but mint is the only thing edible that does well for me. I spend more trying to grow my own than I would buying it at a grocery store.

    I've reported on the blog tool here at MFP, but I can't post pictures so I took it over to blogger at http://tuliptreehomestead.blogspot.com/

    Greens - lettuce mix, romaine, bib, kale, spinach, and new this year: chard
    Roots - radish, carrot, and new this year - red and gold potatoes
    Tomatoes - roma, yellow pear, cherry
    Cruciferous - broccoli, cabbage, and new this year brussel sprouts

    Herbs: oregano, thyme, parsley, sage, lemon balm, peppermint

    There's strawberries and blueberries as well, both new. we have some bokchoy currently being shredded by some unknown critter.

    Currently toying with putting in dwarf cherry and apricot.
